I'm sorry Sine. *hails Sine-Shrine*

So, how about those Arabs?

Now, if we'd all tastefully switched to the Billy Connelly discussion when I offered it, would anyone be banned?

Someone will read my posts one day. I'll kill him last.

Did anyone else hear something? Anyway, yeah. Hail Sine!

*Joins in the hailing of Sine*

Sorry, i already posted before i read that he was banned, and the quote was just too good to delete. i'll be more careful next time.

Well, it's much quieter and easier to read posts now...

Anyway, this beheading is, once again, stupid.

They're cowards. They're afraid to come out and fight like men. So they hide and pick us off one by one.

I might change my sig to that... yes, yes I will.

Exucution by the same method they did their crime..
filthy pigs...

I'm sure Abe used modern slang.

It pisses me off everytime I read that. Their methods are distastefull, yes. But there's a fine line between bravery and stupidity. When you're part of a small resisting group against the most powerful force on the planet, you do not take them straight on, it's simple logic. That's just as bad as calling the 9-11 hijackers cowards. Taking over a large plane by yourself and steering it into a building, taking your own life in the process is one of the bravest things anyone can do. Sure, it's not right, but it certainly is brave. And then they say the passengers who did nothing but sit on their arse and die were heroes.


Sometimes hearing americans reminds me of somesort of Klingon warrior speaking to an angry mob;

"ARR! We will crush the filthy cowards! They have insulted our honor, and now we must destroy them! VICTORY! KAH'PLAH!!" *raises bath'leh in the air*

Crowd: "KAH'PLAH!!!"

...how does Flexor know about our secret alliance with the Klingon Empire?

He must be silenced.

...Anyway...the people who think Islam is inherently violent are missing the point. Yeah, there are passages in the Qur'an that can be interpreted in a number of different ways. But if Zarqawi and his group didn't have the Qur'an to justify their actions they'd just find something else. A religion is only as peaceful or violent as its adherents, and the vast majority of Muslims don't condone this, and they certainly don't behave like this. Islam isn't the problem.

The causes of Islamic terrorism have less to do with religion and 'resentment' of American policy than with economics and politics. But even though there may be reasons for why people behave like this, there is no justifying it. There is no room for equivocation - you either agree Zarqawi's actions are utterly and completely reprehensible or you include a "but" at the end of your sentence and quietly admit you sympathize with his reasons. He is not human and he should not be treated like a common criminal to be arrested and put on trial. **** "bringing him to justice". He has to be killed.

I agree with sine. I just don't think the entire religion, or muslems, or heck, even the middle east as a whole should be completelly hated for the actions of people within their borders. That's like calling America racist because we don't shoot the KKK in the face every time they march.

By the way, Flexor's above comment rox my world. Exactly what most americans need to hear. The only heroes on 9/11 were the firefighters and other rescuers, and the civilians on the plane that slammed into the ground.

Flexor, I think you're confusing bravery with stupidity

Amen.

Reading his last post I think he is just plain confused.

We don't? o.O

How dare you mock Klingons, human!

Running planes into buildings may be brave to some extent, but beheading defenseless people is NOT. (particularly if they are civilian -- there's been a few of them I'm sure, or at least threats to do so). "Brave" implies that there is some degree of danger involved in what you're doing. There's no danger in hacking/sawing off a head of a person who has no means of retaliation or defense. It also suggests that you have a reasonable chance of success; otherwise it's plain foolishness.
Sniping out soldiers attempting to help your country is plain stupid, and is not brave. Sneaking up behind one to stab him can be brave though, since he might be killed in the process. And either way, it's not looking too good for the terrorists' victory, so they're being foolish, not brave, in attacking the troops.

So cowardly may not be the right word to use to describe the terrorists after all; however, the attacks they are making now are by no means brave, either.

No, the KKK has a right to march in America.

Crapheads.

My point was that they don't do that because they're cowards, they do that because they're smart. When you're at a disadvantage in numbers and ressources the intelligent thing to do is hide and pick them off one by one.

Although when I say 'smart', it's pretty relative. Beheading people is hurting them more than it's hurting the americans. It just makes them lose supporters.
